'Encouraging' in the Bible

strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.

just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
